Loup-garou: The Beast Of Harmony Falls (the Ian Mcdermott Paranormal Investigator Series) (volume 1)

The rugged beauty of the Mount St. Helens wilderness is being haunted by a killer. Hikers, loggers, and local residents are dying in horrible, mysterious ways, and lawmen Bud O'Brien and Charlie Redtail are forced to think it just might be a monster ... maybe Bigfoot itself. Enter Cryptozoologist Dr. Ian McDermott, Ph.D., who struggles with his own personal demons as he uncovers the impossible and ugly truth behind it all - an evil more malevolent than anyone ever imagined. Loup-Garou is the first in the Ian McDermott, Paranormal Investigator series. Atmospheric, often beautiful, and always intensely scary investigations into what we were told as children were only myths and legends. The hunt is on.** In the tiny, normally quiet town of Harmony Falls, Washington, Sheriff Bud O'Brian and Deputy Charlie Redtail are under increasing pressure to explain a string of disturbing occurrences fueling speculation about local superstitions. When two hikers go missing, and a local logger insists he was attacked by Bigfoot, Sheriff Bud reluctantly calls for help from cryptozoologist Dr. Ian McDermott to aid with the stalled investigation
